Lou Hoskins and Shirley Crothers are organizing Red Lodge Metals Unlimited Inc. to undertake a high-risk gold mining venture in Canada. Lou and Shirley tentatively plan to request authorization for 400,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold to the general public for $35 per share. Lou and Shirley have decided to establish par of $0.03 per share in order to appeal to a wide variety of potential investors. Lou and Shirley believe that investors would be more willing to invest in the company if they received a large quantity of shares for what might appear to be a “bargain” price.
Is the $0.03 a fair par value?
Does it surprise you that Lou and Shirley would assign a $0.03 par value?

Suppose that Brookdale acted upon the suggestion of Land and Buildings and that as a result Brookdale was able to distribute $21 per share in cash to its investors. Suppose that after selling its real estate assets and paying out cash to shareholders, Brookdale's shares were worth $5 per share. Are Brookdale's investors better or worse off? Specifically, calculate the percentage change in the wealth of share- holders (including the cash they received and the change in the value of their stock) that would hypothetically occur if Brookdale acted according to this plan. Now suppose that Brookdale had 185.45 million shares outstanding. What is the total dollar value of wealth created (or destroyed) by the restructuring pro- posed by Land and Buildings?arrow_forward
